A view from <strong>the</strong> porch of <strong>the</strong> Lighthouse Inn – Yes <strong>the</strong>re is life on <strong>the</strong> North end of <strong>the</strong> Island and we will try to let everyone know what is happening with this end of <strong>the</strong> island from “<strong>the</strong> porch” and from our wonderful guests. Big June... Wow – <strong>the</strong> island was packed in June and we were too. We, like everyone else in <strong>the</strong> hospitality business, were at maximum occupancy. Each year it appears that more people <strong>are</strong> discovering <strong>Tybee</strong> and all it has to offer. Harley Bride... Leo and Kevvi arrived on <strong>the</strong>ir Harley from Atlanta after an extended road-trip through Florida. They were married <strong>the</strong> next day at sunrise on <strong>the</strong> beach. They were wonderful and enjoyed <strong>the</strong> island and <strong>the</strong> beach for <strong>the</strong>ir entire stay. Email from Canada... Adam Freeman, Program Director for Star96 FM, Ontario, Canada, sent us a message that he was sorry about <strong>the</strong> death of our friend Kitty. He was a guest here and had met her on “<strong>the</strong> porch” two years ago and has subscribed to “The <strong>Breeze</strong>” since <strong>the</strong>n to keep up with what was happening on <strong>Tybee</strong>. He will be back this year for his <strong>Tybee</strong>-fix. Comments: Where do we start? We enjoyed ourselves immensely. I believe <strong>the</strong>re is a reason why we ended up on <strong>Tybee</strong> Island and <strong>the</strong> Lighthouse Inn. We felt like it was our home away from home and exactly what <strong>the</strong> doctor ordered. We enjoyed our afternoons on “<strong>the</strong> porch” and meeting <strong>the</strong> locals like Mayor Jason, his wife Jody and Maria Rose, Suni and John Wea<strong>the</strong>rs and of course hearing Stuart greet all <strong>the</strong> people passing with “afternoon.” These made our trip unforgettable. Leaving our stressful moments back in Chicago, I will think back to our restful and relaxing days on <strong>Tybee</strong>. We learned about Susie’s accomplishments with FOTT (Friends of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Tybee</strong> Theater) and learned of a new organization, of which we <strong>are</strong> members – “LGE” – Longest Guests Ever. We hope we didn’t overstay our welcome. Thanks for your hospitality and we feel you <strong>are</strong> part of our extended family. We truly will miss you both, <strong>the</strong> cats, Boomer and The Biscuits. Love, Ellian and Ilya, Glenview, IL (Formerly U.S.S.R) It is with deep regret that we return our keys to <strong>the</strong> Lighthouse Inn. You have mastered <strong>the</strong> art of turning a short contact into a feeling of warmth and friendship. We could not have chosen a more perfect setting for our wedding than that provided by <strong>the</strong> comfort of your inn and <strong>the</strong> tranquility of <strong>Tybee</strong> Island. Great companionship – Great food – Great house. Thank you, Leo and Kevvi, Atlanta, GA I have been coming to <strong>Tybee</strong> all of my life. <strong>Tybee</strong> itself is a treasure, but your Bed & Breakfast has given me a new set of memories to treasure. It was wonderful. Thank you for sharing your delicious breakfasts and super comfortable beds. Ken and Robin, Greenwood, SC We have also become members of <strong>the</strong> “LGE” club. As you can probably tell we absolutely loved our stay. Thank you very much for <strong>the</strong> lovely breakfasts, <strong>the</strong> wine on “<strong>the</strong> porch”, <strong>the</strong> (many) beers, but most of all your warmth and hospitality.
